Beaches & Coast in Leicester

Landlocked as it is, Leicester's own "beach" isn't sand at all. Golden Beach Karaoke Bar 黄金海岸KTV in the city centre is 18+, private karaoke rooms running from 5pm to 2am with cocktails and food brought straight to your table. It's a night out, not a paddle in the sea, so don't bring the kids expecting buckets and spades. For that, you're looking at a proper trip out to Nottingham Beach, a pop-up with real sand, a pool and paid rides plunked in the middle of the city. It's free to get in and runs all summer, which makes it the one for toddlers and older kids alike, though the rides will cost extra and it's worth having cash as well as a card on you. Golden Beach, meanwhile, is strictly for the grown-ups after dark.
